Waxing is a method for removing hair on certain body parts. This method has long been popular with many women to help remove pubic hair, armpits, Eyebrow Waxing, or even leg hair. Waxing is divided into several types and each type can be different in terms of the material used, the form of liquid used, to the style of hair removal. Here are some of the most popular types of waxing:
Soft wax Soft wax is the most commonly used type of wax, made from paraffin or melted wax and beeswax. How to apply soft wax is by applying a heated melted wax to the hairy areas of the body and allowed to dry for a while. Attach strips or pluck paper to the dried wax and pull it in the opposite direction of hair growth. The hair that sticks to the strips will also lift.
Hard wax Hard waxing is a waxing method by letting the wax dry, then removing the wax along with the hair-pulling out of the skin. Hard wax is also called stripless wax because it doesn't require the paper to pull hair out. Usually, hard wax can be applied in a small area such as the eyebrows, fine hairs above the lips, and on the armpits. Hard wax does not damage the skin like soft wax, where the outer layer of the skin is also pulled out.
Sugar wax Sugar waxing is a waxing method with natural ingredients. This waxing relies on ingredients such as sugar and lemon as the main ingredients. Sugar wax is claimed to be the safest waxing for sensitive skin.
Fruit wax Fruit wax is enriched with fruit extracts, most of which are berries. This type of wax is rich in antioxidants and is not too harsh so it can be used on sensitive skin. The price of this type of wax is generally more expensive, but fruit wax is softer than soft wax and does not stretch the surface of the skin.
Chocolate wax Chocolate wax is a type of wax to which chocolate is added. This type of wax contains oils that are moisturizing for the skin. Apart from lifting the hair, this wax is also believed to make the skin more radiant.
Waxing is a faster and more practical way to remove hair than shaving. Shaving allows hair to be lost unevenly whereas waxing allows for a more even distribution of hair. When shaving, you can still feel the remaining hair on the surface of the skin. For waxing, it will be pulled from the root. Although the hair that is pulled out is likely to grow back later.
